Bill O'Reilly: His rantings are insaaaaaaaane!

O'Reilly, pissed off that Matt Drudge actually had the audacity to print Bookscan sales figures that showed O'Reilly lagging behind Hilary and Franken, took to the airwaves to air his grievances, a la Festivus:

On Imus's radio show, O'Reilly said: "There is no other cure than to kill Matt Drudge," and "I just want to tell everybody that Matt Drudge is smoking crack - right now, in South Miami Beach on Washington Avenue... And the authorities should know it."

The first time O'Reilly went off on Drudge, I believed it. But since his totally unconvincing "feud" with Al Franken, I've decided this is all just self-promotion, and Franken, at least, goes along for the publicity.

Furthermore, I've decided the radio-show "leak" was orchestrated and O'Reilly went off about it to help draw more attention to it.

This last one, I am convinced, is aimed at increasing O'Reilly's books ales.

I think it's a five centimeter spot off of Newbridge Road right before Hicksville. It's the address people use when they want to appear to be white upper middle class instead of just plain old middle class like the rest of us in that area.

It's really pathetic that he is lauded to be the zenith of conservative talk-hosts. He really fuels the flames of partisan politics and I think that his caustic comments and inability to actually listen in debate should of been rewarded with not only the usual kick in the pants, but also with some sort of educational material that can show him the benefits of closing his mouth.

But then again, getting Bill O'Reilly to read Lao Tzu is much like herding cats while laying down on the couch and yelling "Hey!"

Jeef, O'Reilly isn't really a conservative, he's more a populist, which is somewhat odd considering that he's an egomaniac.
It's easy to make the mistake, anyone in the media to the right of Vladimir Lenin is considered 'conservative'.
It's kind of like our beloved Michele being attacked by the DU types as a right winger.
I suspect that Mr. O'Reilly's main problem with Drudge comes from three sources, all within O'Reilly. Number one, Drudge is an amatuer who regularly gets a story out before the 'professional' O'Reilly. Number two, O'Reilly is a homophobe (not a conservative position, BTW).
Lastly Drudge won't kiss O'Reilly's um, ring, yeah, that's it, ring.

Yes, smoking is the most effective way to consume cocaine, regardless of its form. Crack only comes in little rocks, having been produced from powered cocaine. It's particularly well-suited to smoking, as it takes heat to release the active compounds.

You can snort or inject powered cocaine, and even smoke it too. Smoking a drug delivers its dose to the brain faster than any other delivery method. Not even injecting the drug will create the desired effect as fast. The difference is nil. Maybe 11 seconds for injection, less than 7 seconds smoked, if memory serves. But hey, who keeps a watch around when they're doing lines of go go dust?

I actually watched the interview.
(don't throw rocks, I'm an insomniac who has 200 channels of nothing to watch at 3am)

He went waaaay beyond just bashing Drudge, he basically bashed bloggers/the internet as a whole as being a threat to Democracy...you know, No editors, can post any horrific lie they want without being accountable to anyone... blah blah blah.

Peter, thanks for clearing that up. I'm not really anti-conservative or anything, as I have a smorgasbord of very intelligent and friendly conservative friends. I'm more of the neutral Libertarian type guy.

O'Reilly...is...well...I think the other comments speak for themselves.
